I say Mike Layton's got more than one. Over your lifetime, how many Mike? :)

Yeah...I'm not proud of that fact. I've had a couple of Supras but never an Acro. I tried to get one off of my buddy in Ohio last month as he has three of them. He wouldn't give one up yet he robbed me of a 20" 602 ride. (He fell in love with the Cymbal and doesn't have much. I had to let him keep it)
Life's not fair. I was just a few minutes late responding to the recent Acro that sold for $85 shipped, I think it was.
I hear nothing but great things about these snares.

I think I only have four of them. They all sound great. I have two earlier ones with the COB hoops and those bring a little something "extra" to the table.
I usually have one with me at all gigs as my backup snare for one of my more expensive ones but I'm not entirely sure I don't have that backwards.
The local Music Go Round often has Acros (usually 70s or 80s models) for $80 - $100 so I'm surprised I don't have more of them. I don't expect I'll catch up to Mr. Layton anytime soon. That's quite a collection Mike.
